Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for abstracting a source of sensor data by translating data sink processor communications from a hardware-independent format to a hardware-dependent format and by translating data source portion communications from a hardware-dependent format to a hardware-independent format.

1-37. (canceled)
An integrated sensor comprising:
- a data source portion including a data source processor to receive output from at least one sensor of the data source portion and at least one buffer;
- an interface for coupling the data source portion with a data sink having at least one data sink processor;
- and
- a hardware abstraction layer implemented by at least one interface manager to provide an abstraction of the data source portion by translating data sink processor communications from a hardware-independent format to a hardware-dependent format.
